SCHOOL CALENDAR CHANGE - MARCH 29 RESTORED TO SPRING RECESS

Submitted by Lloyd Jaeger on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 4:44pm

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE ANNOUNCEMENT

Last evening the Board of Education approved a change to the school calendar which restores March 29, 2010 as a Spring Recess day provided that there are no additional weather related or emergency school closing dates required up to and including March 26, 2010.

To make this change possible, the Board also extended the school year calendar such that the last 2009-2010 school day has been moved from Thursday, June 24th to Friday, June 25th.

Should we make it successfully to spring recess without a need for an additional emergency closing day, a future announcement will be made sometime in April regarding the final pattern for student attendance which will be required during the last school week in June 2010 (June 21-June 25). Please do not make plans that would exclude your capacity to report to school on Friday, June 25th.

Finally, please be advised of what will occur if there should be the need for one or more emergency or weather related school closing days up to and including March 26, 2010:
1. The original school calendar will be restored.
2. The last day of the school year will return to being on Thursday, June 24, 2010.
3. School will also be in session on March 29, 2010 due to the closing dates ALREADY used prior to today, March 16, 2010.
4. If there is one additional school closing through March 26th, school will also be in session on Tuesday, March 30th.
5. If there are two additional school closings through March 26th, school will also be in session on Wednesday, March 31st.
6. If there are three additional school closings through March 26th, school will also be in session on Thursday, April 1st.
7. If there are four additional school closings through March 26th, school will also be in session on Friday, April 2nd.

Thank you for reviewing this entire message.

Parent Workshops Announcement - Thinking Maps "University"

Submitted by Lloyd Jaeger on Thu, 10/22/2009 - 9:12am

As a parent, do you ever see your child struggling with homework or trying to figure out how to prepare for a test or quiz? If so, this workshop is for you! You are invited to participate in one of our three currently scheduled "Thinking Maps" workshops to learn about how to use these critical thinking tools to support your child's learning. Thinking Maps are being introduced and used district-wide in all subject areas to support teachers' engagement of students as learners and for our students to organize, represent and present what they understand. Participants in these workshops will be eligible to receive software for your home computer, so that your children can do their homework using these graphical tools. Our three current workshops are listed below. If you haven't yet registered for the workshop, you are welcome to call your child's school to indicate your interest in attending. If you cannot attend your child's home school session, you are welcome to go to a session at another school by calling to register there. We hope you will join us at these valuable sessions for supporting your child's learning!
